Fiber Facts & Myths - What Almost Everyone Gets Wrong

Do you really need fiber for gut health? And if so, what’s it good for—and who benefits from it? In this video, I’m going to review the facts and myths about fiber that you should know, citing data on fiber and inflammation, microbiome diversity, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), and explaining when fiber elimination can be therapeutic for digestive issues, like bloating, IBS, or constipation.

This isn’t simple. This isn’t dogmatic. This is, however, provocative—and will get you to rethink your assumptions about digestion, fiber intake, and gut health. Whether you’re keto, carnivore, vegan, or just curious. It will get you to think differently about your next bite of broccoli. Let’s dig in!
